The mysteries of the human body!
How does our body work without us even thinking about it? How many bones do we have? What is the largest organ in the body? How is food transformed in our digestive system? And what happens when a muscle contracts?
Make way for young anatomists! Through 5 interactive stations, students explore the major systems and structures that let our body move, take in food and work every day.
They discover the digestive system, the skeleton, the organs, the muscles and some fascinating mechanisms of the human body. With models, hands-on activities, challenges and an operating-room simulation, they observe, ask questions, experiment and connect the structure of each body part with its function.
All under the watchful eye of Oscar, our favourite skeleton!
